My best hardware anecdote is that I had Claude patch the system files that connect to a USB-to-Serial-port cable that connects to our Pinewood Derby track for Cub Scouts. Saved my bacon 30 minutes before the races were going to start. A year prior we just would have gone without timers.

It would be cool if one of them was a “secret compartment.” Hover on one single circle, and it spins and unlocks …

So tired of saying it, but imagine Obama or Biden or Harris said any of this. We've normalized a malignant narcissist who fundamentally disrespects every aspect of his office.

I have a couple small projects with very complex background job workflows and Sidekiq Pro is just not a feasible expense. It’s really awesome for this to be core Rails now.

What if Google Search Console comparison reports worked the way they should? That's why I built the GSC Compare % Change Chrome Extension. chromewebstore.google.com/detail/gsc-c... It shows % change for the comparison and matches day of week for year over year analyses. #seo #analytics #google

“Say crazy shit to get headlines before you launch something” shows up a lot of places. Kanye might be the most shameless person to do this but he’s not the only one. Has been the 37 Signals playbook for years. In their case, they usually pick a fight with a Goliath like Apple.

Not sure how far you are down the WordPress track. One thing I'm playing with is an Astro version of the same theme/concept. github.com/kanejamison/... It's slightly less simple than the Wordpress theme route, but, hosting is free.

Planning two of these myself. Self-hosting options for ghost open source are just so terrible. And ghost.org pricing only makes sense for a production site or a newsletter you’re really dedicated to.

Super cool idea to be able to chat with the agent while looking at the document. Great way to keep the agent on the rails and focused while writing.

Whatever you buy, figure out a way to do 100 foot land to the units that are furthest from the modem. I don’t think it matters which brand when you start getting 50+ away. Here is my before and after.

I’d imagine this is more of a one off exercise to run on a repo, rather than something I would do frequently. But I guess the more often you do it the fewer things you have to review.

It would be interesting to literally run ‘rails new’ in a separate folder on your computer, open a new branch on your main repo, and literally drag and drop all of the new app files into the existing repo folder. Then review the diffs and new files similar to a normal version upgrade process.

I’ve never seen a process here. The only time I’ve seen it “proactively” done is when we are opting into a new library (eg actiontext, kamal) or upgrading from an old one (eg sprockets to propshaft).

Yes, light hearted fun, I understand why they flagged it as a 'major' release. And it has always been a reliable gem for me, definitely easier to update that some others.
